Angels' Shohei Ohtani (UCL sprain) to be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks

Los Angeles Angels pitcher/DH Shohei Ohtani will be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Monday, while offering no new update on the righthander's UCL sprain.

Ohtani left his pitching start June 6 after four innings due to the reoccurrence of a blister on his pitching fingers, and the team subsequently discovered the sprain.

The Angels said at that time that Ohtani's ulnar collateral ligament had a Grade 2 sprain, which typically indicates some degree of damage, but not a complete tear. The plan had been for doctors to reevaluate him three weeks from that date, but now that time frame has been moved back.
